This cd is tight as hell, and is better than his last cd The Life. I'm feelin almost every song on here, so let me break it down for ya....

1.) Mike Tyson - Just an intro, not that special

2.) Get Ready - (4/10): I thought a song with Snoop Dogg would be good, but this ain't that great

3.) Chedda Brings - (7/10): This song is pretty tight, and I'm really feelin the beat

4.) Hell Yeah - (8/10): It's the first single, so of course it's gotta be good, and Baby really accents the song

5.) In Those Jeans - (8/10): This song is really, really sweet, and the chorus is really catchy... a really good song for the ladies

6.) Stingy - (7/10): Off the Barbershop Soundtrack and is one of his best songs, but it's still like a bunch of his old songs

7.) Love You More - (9/10): Not since "Differences" have I heard such a touching song, and it's on the same level as "Differences", so you know the ladies should love it

8.) Bedda To Have Loved - (7/10): The lyrics are really tight, but the beat is a little on the strange side, I wasn't really feelin it

9.) Locked Down - (5/10): It's about being in jail and missing all the things you have, but since I've never been in jail, I wouldn't know nothing about it

10.) On My Way - (7/10): This is a really great slow jam, so grab your girl, and hold her close.....

11.) Sex - (9/10): OMG, this song is soooo great!!! It's a really great dance song, and it's all about sex for all you freaky people out there!!!

12.) Bedda Man - (7/10): I like the lyrics and the beat is pretty cool, but it's not that great. It's kind of a filler song

13.) Our First Born - (7/10): A great song for married couples when they have their first baby, and a great song all together

14.) Big Plans - (10/10): This is one of the best, if not the best, songs on this cd and Method Man tears it up on here!!!! One for the clubs, for SURE!!!!!

15.) Hell Yeah (Remix) - (7/10): A great remix with Clipse and R. Kelly, but Kelly kind of brings the song down with his wack-a** verse

16.) Tigger & The Gizzle - Outro-type track, just Tigger interviewing Ginuwine

So, if you're a fan of Ginuwine, and you liked his last cd, you gotta get this cd, for real.

Ginuwine "The Senior". The man has graduated, and got a hair cut. This album is a mix between all three of Ginuwine's previous albums, even though you notice more of last one on this. You'll start to recognize that it was produced by the same people from "The Life" when you get to the sixth song "Stingy". Speacially the bassline in "Love You More", which is a mix between "Differences" and "Superhuman", two great tracks. "Love You More" it's one of those songs that makes you wanna be in a serious relationship, if you're not in one, it should be a classic. Compared to the last album, this one has a lot of features starting with Mike Tyson's "stamp of approval", then to Snoop Dogg's recognizing G as a true playa, next up is rapper Jose Cequentez in the song "Chedda Brings" talking about goldiggers. We already know Baby a.k.a. Birdman & the #1 Stunna is featured in Hell Yeah. In the song called "Sex", you'll hear, Sole, sexying things up with G. And what came as a surprise to me, it's the presence of Method Man, simply because I never pictured these both artists in the same song, but when thinking about the result, it didn't surprise me at all how good the song, "Big Plans" about a possible marriage, turned out. Like "100% Ginuwine" there are a lot of interludes in this album as well, but when it comes to G, interludes get you ready for the songs, and it's exactly what happens in the song "Locked Down". He talks about the things he'd miss if he was to lose his liberty. And it's a song a lot of brothas could relate to, specially youngsters out there with no sense of consequences, throwing their lives away. "In those Jeans" is a good ol' fashion R&B song, talking about meeting and trying to hook up with a girl, and it has a funny interlude to it. It's a song that reminded me of "100% Ginuwine" along with "Get Ready" with Snoop & Rook. "On My Way" and the interlude to "Sex" made me think I was listening to "The Bachelor". "Our First Born" is self-explanatory and "Bedda To Have Loved" should get to the heart-broken women. If you, thought G kinda sounded like R. Kelly in "Hell Yeah", like I did, well it's because Kelly hooked G up with the song, and you'll hear both of them plus Baby and Clipse on the Remix. And Big Tigger from "Tha Basement" shows his skills in "Tigger & The Gizzle", quick song and of course a funny interview. I missed Timbaland again, but the reason the two weren't together in this album was due to their busy schedules. But G said he was gonna try and hook up with Tim to work on the next album(the whole thing!), so we should wait for that, because it's gonna be worth it. Closing it up, it's an excellent album, Ginuwine proves once more he is a level above all other R&B singers, with the exception of Brian McKnight. Worth buying it for sure.
Peeeeace

R&B is known for its long-standing producer/singer relationships. Janet Jackson has Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. Toni Braxton has Babyface. TLC has Dallas Austin. And Ginuwine had Timbaland, and for his first two albums, the match yielded some strong results in the form of hits like "Pony," "What's So Different" and "Anxious." But "Senior" is the second Ginuwine album sans Timbaland, and without the producer's hip-hop flavored beats, it's as generic as an r&b record can get. The songs here aren't bad, but, frankly, they could be sung by virtually ANYONE: Tyrese, Tank, Joe, or any of the first-name-only male vocalists that get aggressive rotation on 106 & Park. And you know an album is off to a dubious start when it kicks off with a spoken endorsement by, of all people, Mike Tyson. Thematically, it's deja vu, with Ginuwine cruising through same-old cliches in tracks like "Get Ready" (with Snoop Dogg, in his umpteenth cameo appearance), "In Those Jeans," and "Sex," a song that states, in no uncertain terms, what's on Ginuwine's mind. All ain't lost, though. The single "Hell Yeah" is above standard fare; and it's hard not to like the jam "First Born," in which he pays tribute to "the most precious thing in the world." But they don't compensate for assembly line beats and hooks that pervade much of "Senior." And the album has so many guest appearances, it feels like Ginuwine is a guest crashing his own party. Whatever the reason why he didn't team up with Timbaland for this album, it's my hope that they reunite the next time, as this album proves that they both need each other. Save for a couple tracks, this "Senior" isn't ready to graduate.

I just bought this album today, and i can't stop listening to it. I first listened to it online and was instantly hooked on the entire cd. There are no bad songs on this album at all. G shows how he as matured from the Bachelor to 100% to The life and Finally graduates with the Senior. This cd is well worth buying you have the sensual love ballads, (in those jeans, stingy, love you more, on my way, and bedda man) to the songs that will most devenatly be jumpin the club such as hell yeah,and sex... Anyone who is big on r & B needs to go out and buy this cd its well worth it. Just by listening to this album you can really tell how ginuwine has put his heart and soul into the entire album. Even though timberland didn't produce any of the tracks on the cd do to unforseen circumstances, Ginuwine shows just how good of a producer he is by producing almost every track and writing most of the songs. No worries though timberland is set to produce G's next album entiled "Back to the Basics" due out sometime in the future. After listening to The senior you will instantly fall in love with it.

I paid $...for his cd. And in my oponion it was well spent. At first it had to grow on me. Cause when I first got it...I was like "What!?!". But, after I sat down and truly listened to it. I liked it. I agree and see where all you other people are going but I've been a G fan since Pony them "Bachelor" days. So, I'm pretty used to it...The best song on their other than "Hell Yeah" the original, is "Stingy" , "Sex" with Sole` I got to give her props she got the sweetest verse. "On my Way", I love "Love You More" "Bedda to have love than not at all" that's like "Tribute to A Woman" on The Life album. Which I STILL feel. Nothing tops "THE LIFE" album. I love "Big Plans" with Method Man. I hope that's his next single. I also like "Bedda Man" I like "In those Jeans" it's catchy and growing on me. Oh my God! The interlude to "Lockdown" I love it. About a jealous boyfriend. Then the song is great! "Lockdown The Movie interlude" in my opinion makes the whole album. And the song "Our First Born" is nice showing his love for his kids and family. Showing that he his also a family man. But, no cd is pefect as far as "Get Ready" , "Chedda Brings" and "Hell Yeah" remix and "Tigger and "The Gizzle" (whatever he want to call himself) was okay. They really did have no point of being on the album. But overall, it was another great Ginuwine album. The life is my favorite album. Hands Down. Than The Bachelor than 100% Ginuwine, and then The Senior. I can't wait until "Back 2 The basics" comes out cause he's working with Timbaland again.

For the most part, I'm not into the kind of music that Ginuwine, and his contempories make. However, Ginuwine is one of the exceptions. I've purchased a few of his albums, yes I said albums, and he really knows how to put it down. "The Senior," in my opinion, is his best. "In Those Jeans," alone, is an absolute winner, and the rest, of the cuts, are, too, extremely good! I never thought that I would buy anything, by Ginuwine, until I heard "Pony." However, I was wrong, as I have three of his albums, and am now a big fan. Vocally, he's no Tevin Campbell. But, he has a quality, to his voice, that, definitely, makes you want to listen. With one note, you know exactly who it is! And, that, to me, makes him special. To be honest, I used to think that he was just another pretty boy, but, now, realize that I was wrong! As for his new release, as soon as it comes out, it's mine. As for the kid, I wish him continued success!

I have all of his albums, and they're are great, this is his 4th cd. A lot of people don't know Ginuwine, but he's been around for a long time, he's just not given the recognition that he deserves. And if you have ever been to see him in concert he's a great entertainer. This cd is a little more fast paced from what i am usually use to hearing from him, which is okay, but his voice is drowned out a little on some of the songs, that's why i didn't give it 5 stars. He has a strong and yet velvety voice which makes the ladies go crazy. I am a big big fan of his, and had the pleasure of meeting him, and he's such a great and funny person. On this cd once again there is no Timbaland, which is a popular producer, that helped him produce his first 2 albums. But that's okay cause he really shines on this cd, he's a very talented song-writer, and he proves he doesn't need Timbaland, and i hope to see him go big places with his career. I recommend you buy this.

Ginuwine is a very talented artists who isn't getting much credit nowadays with artist like Omarion, Chris Brown, NeYo, and Lloyd getting alot of play but his albums are solid and consistent. Disregarding the first three tracks, the rest of the album is definitely good and when he was in New York with Joe, Avant, and Jagged Edge, his live performance stood out from the rest of them so if you get an opportunity you should definitely see him live.

I remember this album when I was in the 10th grade. I love this album. It is as good as The Life album. The album is about Ginuwine's growth. This is his edgier album. This album also finds him continuing to push the envelope. The album is like his senior year. The album also reveals the real him. He graduated with this album. This album has been certified Gold. Remember,this was 2003.

I have listened to this album before but I can't remember how all the tunes go. However I know it's definetely an album to get!!! The hottest tune has to be IN THOSE JEANS!!! That is the only tune i have heard over and over again, it's such a hot tune!!! But anyway, do get this. Even though I can't remember all the tunes I still know a good album even when I hear it once TRUST ME!!! Well done Ginuwine. Quality stuff!!!
